- KKrunalPhiladelphia County •38 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoBeen a regular at Morimoto.The servers were good but not attentive as they were busy. The food was excellent. A suggestion would be to update the menu with more vegetarian options.More infoMorimotoPrice: Very Expensive• Japanese• Center City•4.7
- SSaraPhiladelphia County •84 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoChika Ramen Bar has a sleek, Blade Runner vibe that sets it apart—moody lighting, neon accents, and a futuristic feel. The cocktails are inventive and well-crafted, and the ramen is outstanding with rich, flavorful broth and fresh ingredients. A great spot for a unique dining experience!More infoChika Ramen BarPrice: Moderate• Japanese• Center City•4.2
- NNad’JahBaltimore / Maryland •1 review5.0Dined 3 days agoLoved everything about this place! Will be my go to place every time I’m in Philly now. I feel it is not as spacious but plenty of seating. It’s a very chill vibe in there. Happy hour lasted until 6pm on Friday night. My fave was the wagyu spring rolls with its sauce, had a hint of peanut butter in it. The kanarge (i know butchered the name) look like catfish bites but it’s chicken with the orange sauce it was so good. Came in a good size portion to share. Also ordered the east coast oysters for $2 each definitely worth it. Total was around $50 for two which is nice.More infoTuna BarPrice: Expensive• Japanese• Old City•4.9
